1989 Honda Civic Si review from North America
"Rapes me of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sputters badly and stalls while in gear or while driving. Stalls while idling.
General comments?
This is my first car and it has been a hard learning experience for me. A few words of advise... Get a Mechanical Inspection before buying a car!! Yeah, I know it's probably common sense for most of us. Anyway after replacing the starter, alternator, fuel filter, brake hoses, and air control valve, my car still sputters and pounces and stalls. If anyone has any idea what could be causing this please email me at adelepoubelle@hotmail.com. I've paid $4700 for the car plus about $1800 more in fixing. I'm tired of being raped of money by my car!
